ファジイ推論を用いた膝関節MR画像からの半月板領域の抽出(一般講演1)

This paper shows a method to segment the menisci regions from MR image by using fuzzy inference. The method is composed of two steps. First, we segment the cartiladge region by thresholding of the intensity. We extract the candidate region of the menisci as the region between the cartilages. Second, we segment the menisci voxels from the candidate region based on fuzzy if-then rules obtained from knowledge of location and intensity. Our method can successfully segment the menisci region from MR data sets. The generated visualizations will help medical doctor to diagnose the menisci with noninvasive.
